Anyone can understand the USA's utility for establishing and maintaining Israel where Palestine used to be: walk to work for a week during the winter.
While walking, contemplate one enormous Persia comprising the entire territory now occupied by separate Arab states.

No@ JIF not every American.
This state was not established by us Roosevelt, against advise by the then State dept and Congress a recognized it, after a unilateral declaration by the Zionist movement and regretted it ever after (his memoirs).

@ saywhat:
We are in basic agreement, so why do you assume that I am ignorant of the history of Zionism? Without the USA's "blessings," Israel would not have lasted long after the King David Hotel fireworks.

"The meaning of Israel" is not founded in Germans' quest for racial purity and land with room to live. That meaning is found in interests of human beings who live far away from Palestinians and persons who were born in Israel.

President Obama said, "Palestinians deserve a state of their own."
Surely the President meant a state that has military power, unrestricted access at its own borders, and control of those borders. States have things like that, don't they?
